What if you are running the TSCAL in user mode, does it cover all access
across client and Terminal Severs, or, does the second Terminal Server in
the hop require another user TSCAL??

From:

For Windows Server 2003 Terminal Servers, all clients need installed
CALs assigned to them in order for them to connect to Windows Server
Terminal Servers. (There is no "built-in" pool.) Owners of Windows XP
Professional desktop licenses are eligible for free TS CALs, however.

So you need a TSCAL for each client.
PC A connects to terminal server B. Therefore PC A needs a TSCAL.
PC A Connects to TS C. It already has a TSCAL, so no problems there.
PC A connects to TS B, and from TS B connects to TS C. TS B is now
also a client, and therefore also requires a TSCAL. TS C does not
require a TACAL. TS B is a single device, therefore it onlt requires
one TSCAL for any number of connectios to other TSs.

Does that answer the question?
